Garnett a justice of the peace for the County of King and Queen James Fogg a resident of the said County of King & Queen & State of Virginia Aged eighty One Years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following Declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832
That he entered the service of the United States as a sergeant, in the early part of the Year Seventeen hundred and seventy nine under Captain John Pollard of the said County & State, and served as here in after stated. That by orders received from Col. William Byrd of said County, he marched from Dunkirk in said County, under command of the said Capt. John Pollard, some time in the early part of the Year 1779, (the day nor month not now recollected) to Williamsburg, where they remained in Garrison One month, from thence they were ordered to Little York, to which place they marched, and were continued in service there two months; at this latter place, he belonged to the regiment commanded by Col. Ennis. He was discharged here, and returned home, having served in this four three months. He was called out again in a very short time, and marched to the Hickory Neck Church in New Kent County, where he remained ten or twelve days, (the precise time not now recollected) from thence, they marched to Williamsburg Col. Wm Byrd commanding the regiment at Williamsburg, he remained in Garrison three months, under Col. Tom Matthews, and was again discharged. (the day nor month not now recollected) He received orders again in about a fortnight or three weeks from Col. Byrd, to march to

New Castle in Hanover  of this reg County, in about a fortnight or three weeks, after he was discharged, when the enemy were in Richmond. To this place he marched under Capt. Philip Pendleton, who was then the Commander of his company, remained at that  said place (New Castle) a short time, but does not recollect how long, from thence he was marched to Hottopke in the County of Gloucester and from thence to Hubards field in the County of Gloucester, in this town he was in service one month, and fifteen days, at least, { and this tour was performed at the time of Gates's defeat. He was again ordered out some time in July 1781, and marched to Wood Ordinary in the County of Gloucester, under the said Capt. Philip Pendleton, and was continued in service at that place until the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at York Town, and was stationed on the Gloucester side of Little York, at the time of his surrender, Col. John Monroe Commanding the regiment. After the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, himself and Capt. Samuel Hodkins & some others were appointed as a guard, to guard a parcel of prisoners to Fredericksburg and delivered them to General Greene, this was in the fall of 1781, (he thinks in November), & moving at the time. He does not recollect how long he was in service in this tour, but thinks it could not have been less than three months. He states that himself and one David Dunham, after they were discharged from this 3rd tour, received orders from Col. Lynn, to go out and press horses for the use of the Army, in which office he continued, one month and a half. He was born in the County of Caroline, State of Virginia in the year 1757, and has a record of his age now in his possession, was a resident of the said County of King and Queen when called into service, and has been a resident of said County ever since. He was drafted into service. He recollects the following regular officers who were with the troops when he served, Lieut. Col. Hold- -Thompson, Col. John Matthews, and Generals, Gen. Nelson

(In Chunks, and the Malitia regiments already mentioned. He does not recollect of ever having received a written discharge from the service, or if he did, by whom it was given or what has become of it. He entered the service as a ready sergeant as before stated, was promoted to sergeant Major by Capt John D. Dorr, and was appointed Lieutenant by and through the recommendation of Col. William Dym, and received his Commission signed by the Governor & Council, which Commission he held until the close of the war, when he delivered it up to Capt. Philip Readleton. He is known in his neighbourhood by the following named persons, who can testify to his character and their belief of his services, vizt. as an officer of the revolution, vizt. John Loring, Samuel Gresham, George Schools, and Reuben M. Gannett. He has no documentary evidence of his services, nor does he know of any person living who can testify positively to his full time of service, but offers the subjoined certificates and affidavits in support of his claim. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or bounty except the pension, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.

Sir:
The papers in the case of James Fogg have again been taken up and are once more returned as unsatisfactory.
The applicant in his original declaration did not adduce any proof of his having held a Commission, his papers were returned to him.
In his subsequent declaration, the proof was deemed unsatisfactory, and his service was not specified in conformity to the rules of the Department - they were again returned in June last with these objections, whereupon a new declaration was made in August last, in which he claims to have served one term of 3 months - one of an indefinite length - one of one and a half months - and one of 3 months as Sergeant and Lieutenant. In an amendment appended to that declaration made same date, he alleges to have served one term of 3 months and one of two weeks as Sergeant and one of 7 months as Lieutenant.
These statements are so at variance with his original declaration, which has been destroyed, and with each other that I do not feel justified in coming to any favorable decision upon the claim.
Whenever any additional service is set up by an applicant after having made his declaration, additional testimony will be required to sustain it.
The claimant will be required to state distinctly the duration of each term of service, including only such time as he shall have been in actual service -
Ans

An objection rest against any claim of 7 months continuous Service in any capacity, unless it was performed in the regular Army. Such Service was not performed in the Militia - All the Papers must be returned -
Yours Respectfully Dane A. T. Smith J. L. Edwards

Sir
The necessity of the case must be my apology for troubling You with the Claims of an old Revolutionary Officer, which appears some- =has difficult to get allowed at the Pension Office. You will perceive that soon after the act of Congress of June 7 th 1832, providing for the old Revolutionary Officers and Widows, This old Genl. made out a Declaration in order to obtain its benefits which together with the other papers then attached were forwarded to the Department by myself to be acted on, and after remaining there some time, were returned as being somewhat informal, as well as being deficient in proof. The proof offered at that time, being all that could then be obtained, and in fact all that was then known of by the Applicant, he was compelled to resort to the provisions as laid down by the Department in such cases, and on the 9 th of January 1833 qualified as You will see to an affidavit to his Declaration, in the manner and form as then laid down by the Department. The papers were there- sent back with some additional proof, for further examination and were again found deficient and returned to me, when upon I thought it best to draw up a new Declaration, and accordingly did so on the 8 th of August following, complying as near as possible with the rules and regulations of the Department, and obtained all the proof that could be had in this case and sent them again for inspection, and although it appears to me, that the Applicant has complied with the rules of the Department as near as possible with the exception of not having adduced any prospective proof.

of all his services, but who has qualified upon oath to that fact, agreeable to the regulations, in his appendix and as required by the department in such cases, yet the Commissioner of Pensions Mr. Edwards, finds the papers still imperfect; now it is true that the Applicant has not submitted any positive proof of his services, except for one  the first, but he has adduced such proof as should certainly corroborate his own statement, and entitle him to a pension not only as a private but as an officer. I have enclosed Mr. Edwards's letter in order that you may see his objections, which cannot now be obviated, as the applicant has removed to the State of Tennessee. You will perceive that Mr. Edwards seems to misconstrue the Applicant, in his appendix when he says that an objection not against all claim any claim of seven months continuous tour, or service, now the applicant does not claim or mean to claim for a tour of seven months, he only claims for seven months service in the capacity of a lieutenant, and as the Department required of him to state precisely the time for which he claimed I doubt not he could well do so but by stating in his appendix how long he served in each respective capacity, hence he affirmed to the best of his recollection, that he served not less than 3 months as orderly sergeant two weeks, as sergeant major, seven months as lieutenant making 12 months in all, & and one and a half months as sergeant major, for all of which service he claimed a pension, and not for seven months continuous service as Mr. E. seems to think; for he states previously in his Declaration the number of his tours, their duration, and the places at which they were performed, but does not, and could not state the particular periods, when the service was rendered, this will be seen upon reference to the original, as well as the last Declaration. Mr. Edwards finds another objection which I will try and explain. He says

that the original Declaration, and the present one are so much at variance with each other, that he could not come to any favorable conclusion. Now the only important variation that I can discover in the former (which I have found) and is herewith enclosed, and the latter, is in the term claimed for services rendered, as Lieutenant for in the former he alleges to have served two months in that capacity, and in the latter he only claims for having served seven months, as Lieutenant. which I should think ought to make in his favor, as it proves that he did not wish to take take any advantage, having claimed in his original for 15 months, instead of 12, as claimed in the latter; this variation however arose from the circumstance of his not being able to call to his recollection, one other tour which he was under the impression of having performed, and the place at which the service was rendered. It is hardly to be supposed that a person now eighty odd years old can recollect at this distant period all the particulars of a war, or his services in that war. Nearly sixty years ago. Particularly one who was not regularly in service. As this old man, has left the State, I can do do no more for him, than to enclose his claim (and a just one it is, if any are just) to you as a member of Congress, and as having some influence more than myself, with a request that you will present the claim again to the Department, and endeavor to prevail on Mr. E. to allow it for real. I know the applicants to be perfectly honest in his claim, and deserves the assistance of his country, more than thousands who are now enjoying the benefit of that act (30, 1832) & If you should not succeed in getting his claim allowed, perhaps you could bring it before Congress in such form as to ensure success.
With much respect
In very Old Servt Richard Saunders
